1 Share of the hotel concierge role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the customer experience manager profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A hotel concierge role treats 6 of its required skills as things a customer experience manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • assist clients with special needs
  • comply with food safety and hygiene
  • greet guests
  • handle customer complaints
  • identify customer's needs
  • maintain customer service

What stands in the way is 3 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A hotel concierge role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a customer experience manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held detect drug abuse assisting and caring
  • already held maintain incident reporting records information skills
  • already held assist clients with special needs communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held greet guests assisting and caring
  • already held comply with food safety and hygiene assisting and caring
  • already held implement sales strategies communication, collaboration and creativity

All 10 carried skills, including the 6 the hotel concierge role treats as required.

1 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
